Incident at the Store

This slipped
my mind but it popped up again: The
other day we were in Walmart going up the wide aisle that separates the groceries
and women's clothing when I heard a man shouting.

I looked in
the direction of the shouting and a Walmart manager and a clerk were standing
looking meekly at a dark man with a beard shouting at them with a Latino
accent:

"My
name is not Padre or Puncho! My name is
Jose' Blabla. I resent you calling me
that!" He went on to say he was in
the Army for something like 20 years and fought hand to hand/ life or death
combat and how dare the youthful manager
call him that. He threw down his jacket
like he wouldn't mind doing some more hand to hand combat.

We quickly
left the scene.

After that,
aisles away everything seemed calm with people concentrating on their
shopping. I assume the manager and his helper ran and hid and the
pissed off man left in a huff with no bloodshed.
